Well I was in my kingdom of the ocean riding on a dolphin. It was doing flips and such. It was splashing, getting everybody all wet, but this isn’t Sea World. It’s as real as it gets. I’m on a boat… sorry I got carried away. Where was I? Oh yes I was in my kingdom of the ocean when I heard my son Polyphemus, the Cyclops, praying to me for help. Apparently some soldier named Odysseus attacked him. This Odysseus man fooled my son into drinking a very strong wine so he would fall asleep. Then he took advantage to this. He and his men came up with the idea to blind Polyphemus as he slept so they could escape. They wouldn’t even be in this situation if Odysseus and his men would have never came to this island. So anyways, Odysseus and his men drove a wooden spike through his only eye. This took away his vision, which wasn’t great anyways, but now he is blind! Odysseus did not only blind my son. He also stole from him. The precious sheep that he raised is all that he had, and Odysseus took some of them. Once he took them he even taunted Polyphemus. Teasing, taunting and making fun of him is an ignorant move for such an honorable hero. I feel as though he is more of a selfish fool than a hero. I have never talked to my son before, but I will not let this man get away with out my revenge. I do not see most of my sons and daughters a lot. That does not mean that I do not love them though. I will do everything in my power to stop this man, Odysseus, from ever reaching his home! He will face huge consequences for blinding my son. I will give him many years of misfortune. Maybe I’ll give him death. I have never been so furious in my life! Just wait until I get my hands on this man…
